As for me, I always close doors after I travel through them -- just a
force of habit. I don't open files, take what I need and then not
close them. Likewise, I don't open a dB without also closing it after
I get what I need. I may do that several times in a single script and
I know there is a bit of overhead cost in doing that, but always
knowing that I closed the door means something to me. Besides,
computers are getting faster than I can adapt anyway, so I'll keep my
old habit.
Cheers,
tedd
